composting horse manure

Making composted Horse manure. I got some horse manure with horse bedding and I got some hay from a chicken coop hen house because I am using about 50% hay because I will be using this for mulching purposes as well as fertilizer I started the composting process with a plastic trashcan to speed up the process. A friend of mine recently told me about this says it can take as little as two weeks to composted. Because I'm using a lot of hay it will take longer.

i noticed that you have compost that had food from the kitchen, can u mix that with dog manure? i only have one dog but he does poop a couple times in the day.. is it possible to mix it with any type of compost? oh just wondering can you mix any type of compost like kicthen waste with paper or housepet manures? thanks!

@4babyhael I'd never heard of anybody doing that but I don't really see why not I would give it plenty of time to compost properly though there is no chance of the burning your plants. I do know of a couple people who have used there pets waste to make worm castings.

@lron360 Yes to keep it from drying out I used a tarp.

You can use straw instead of hay to limit the number of seeds. Or you could just give the hay to your chickens bit by bit and they will eat the seeds.
